The Danang Buddha Palm Dunes

The Danang Buddha Palm Dunes, also known as the Danang Dunes or Buddha Palm Dunes, are located on the north bank of the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Milin County, Nyingchi region. They are named after their location, 'Danang Dunes', and are a famous mid-river dune of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, belonging to the desert geomorphology formed by aeolian deposition. Under the blue sky, the dunes are backed by the lush and towering green mountains, and the blue Yarlung Tsangpo River flows gently in front of the dunes. The beige dunes and their reflections resemble two giant Buddha palms coming together in prayer, which is why they are also known as the 'Buddha Palm Dunes'.
